Oh how criminal. The shame of it. Oh how you yanks are ripped-off in so

It is really shocking how Americans do nothing but complain about their
ridiculously cheap prices, not realising that:
1.the rest of the world pays twice, if not more, than you do.

I must admit I started this whole gas price thing, but what was snipped in the

I am glad that I don't have to pay taxes on petroleum products like Europe
